This is the best video I've seen posted on antville in a long while.
I actually wish that instead of subtitles, given the tone of the song at the start, you'd had actual audio from the shoot and just cut it in. I think it would've worked.
Please get a quicktime up. The swf stream wouldn't start and windows media is ehhh.
But other than that really fantastic, can't commend the director enough. What else has he done?
And is the dude at the start Ricky Tomlinson's younger skinny brother?
gorgeous. i agree with otaku perhaps about the subtitles, but really nicely done. doesn't hurt that the band's great too.
direct link to swf.
interesting exercise. definitely lose those subtitles (thraves stopped them just at the right moment). a bit long, but then so was the song - à propos of which, this guy's trying to pull an 'elbow meets coldplay'. not my cup of tea...
(otaku: he did the other 4dh video)
